It's available with the 2.2.x kernel series and later.
One important thing to remember - software raid is *NOT* a backup in the
traditional sense and should not be used as one. It provides redundancy in
the event of a disk failure, not archival backups. Files that are deleted
(intentionally or otherwise) on one drive will also be deleted on the other
drive.
